i don't really get the problem of the question, anyway: If the question is how to send the name of the file and the extension (image type) from flash toghether with the byteArray of image data you should use a URLVariables object.

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = "your_server_page_for_example.php";
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.name = "imgName";
variables.type = ".jpg";
variables.image = myByteArray;

request.data = variables;
